Tool Updates

There's a small update for Bach, the open source command line for Compose which we introduced earlier this year.

In the latest update, 0.2.3, we've made some output more readable and added a new command, cacert. Many Compose deployments use self-signed certificates and we were asked if there was a super-quick way, beyond looking in the Compose console, to retrieve them.

While you could do a curl on the deployment details endpoint and then parse the JSON for the field and then decode it from base64 encoding, nobody's got time for that. Instead, bach cacert <deploymentid> will do it all for you in the blink of an eye.
